in 2017, china passed the national intelligence law, which says that if asked all chinese companies and citizenshelp the government to assist national intelligence efforts. china claims this is part of an effort to safeguard its security. but the fear is that if huawei supplies any country's sg network, the chinese could exploit it. in a future where our entire infrastructure, our economy and our lives are run by computers talking to each other over a 56 network, what would happen if someone shut that network down? if you think about it, the future of warfare is not necessarily going to be using traditional armies in the way we think of like the second world war. the future of warfare will most likely be cyber, so without firing a shot you could take a country out. it's feared that the chinese state could order huawei to build secret backdoors in a 56 network. these would leave the country vulnerable to a nationwide cyberattack. and that could be catastrophic. so, what's new? well, in may the us government published one short piece of legislation which had a massive impact on global technology.

everything they can to cover up the history of japanese atrocities for the korean comfort women, citizens of china, the other victims across asia of japanese colonialism and japanese oppression. i wanted to show that part of it to. i also wanted this one to complicate it further. this was about the american people double use. there were p.o.w.'s in the camp in hiroshima 23 of them were at least in the bombing. many of them survived the atomic bombing. only to be beaten to death by enraged japanese citizens. this shows the americans who were beaten to death by the japanese after the bomb was dropped. i am not sure exactly why but they depicted several women among the american p.o.w.'s. there are actually no women there. this, to me, is somewhat baffling, why they chose to do so. but we are seeing here a progression in the thinking. in the beginning they focused just on japanese victims in here shamima then they consciousness began expanding. they started to show the japanese as also victimizes they have one on the rape of now using. they have one on onto its. they are trying to make this a broader

china. then a canadian analytics company, citizen lab, looked into how wechat moderated its users outside ofat topics related to perennial taboo issues like tiananmen square, hong kong, falun gong, anything to do with tibet or the dalai lama, those are pretty routinely censored. the people we spoke to, though, did not seem to be too concerned about security issues. the reason why he is saying that he doesn't want it in the us is because he thinks that some of the data from users goes to the chinese government. no... this is not true, it's not, really. it is, like, very important to the country. so maybe the country, the government control it a little bit, but that is, i think that is the good part for us. because... if there is no government to control it, it would be — something bad would happen. researchers not only found wechat censoring political content, it was also censoring content related to covid—19. we looked in particular at censorship around covid and found that discussion about the pandemic very early on was censored which is highly significant because of course physicians who w

china and beijing often use. they use it to describe that they have to have the right to control what information and what is available online for chinese citizens. this is how theyjustified their great firewall in china. and they are now trying to expand this kind of concept into hong kong by implementing the national security law into hong kong. they are trying to argue that they have the sovereignty over hong kong and they have the rights to control what is available on the internet. the central government says the introduction of the new law is to restore order after a year of often viole nt protests. it criminalises state subversion. punishment could mean life in prison. the law gives the authorities the power to force internet providers to delete content. china is evolving into a digital superpower. they have really smart and comprehensive approaches in controlling its people including hong kong years. they have the great firewall in china, and they‘ re implementing it in hong kong. not the physical infrastructure, because we have the open telecommunication system, but then they are trying to implement it through having this national secur

in china, they understand that countries in which the population is divided against itself, countries in which citizensave nothing meaningful in common with one another are weak countries. and over time, countries like that are doomed. answer china emphatically rejects identity politics. it's a legal appear to leaders in china don't narrowcast to tiny constituencies based on their "identity." the idea is appalling to them. the chinese focus instead on national identity. they don't worship diversity, they promote unity and that is why long term, they believe they will win. the chinese also believe, and this is another striking difference, that their economy is worth saving. they didn't destroy it with coronavirus quarantines, harsh as they were. unlike the united states, china was a poor place until fairly recently. and so they know firsthand that poor countries are powerless, and they don't want that. in other words, the chinese care about themselves and their future and that is one thing we could actually learn from them, but we don't seem to be. chris bedford is a senior editor at "the federalist." w
